Why this helps
One-to-one access decisions can be easy to lose when they require a separate admin-console task.
- Carry a clear DM approval into the specified group.
- Reduce the mental load of tracking one-off vendor requests.
- Keep access limited to an identified vendor and group.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Google Admin to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation that adds the named vendor to the named group only after a clear DM approval.
- 3Select the Slack direct message trigger.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports and test with one real, approved vendor request.
Questions about this workflow
Will a vendor request alone grant access?
No. Describe an explicit approval requirement and identify the exact person and group.
Can the membership role be included?
